The ego of a devotee is cured by divine grace through humility. Even great beings can develop pride in their service. Hanumān once believed Rāma's victory depended entirely on him. Earlier, Garuḍa also lost faith after rescuing Rāma from a snake-arrow, thinking God needed his help. Garuḍa, in despair, was told only the crow-sage Kakabhuśuṇḍī could cure him. As Garuḍa approached, hearing the sage's discourse restored his devotion, and he saw even the gods listening. To cure Hanumān's pride, Rāma sent him to deliver a ring to a sage in the Himalayas. The sage told Hanumān to throw it into a pond, which was filled with identical rings from every divine incarnation. Hanumān then understood his role was not unique but part of an eternal cycle, curing his ego.
"Hanumānjī became proud. He thought, 'If I were not, Rāma would not be successful.'"
"Hanumān, don’t be proud. Don’t think that through your help, Rāma was victorious... It was a test for you."

The reality is within you
2:35 - 3:12 (37 min)
The spiritual path requires unwavering discipline and grace, not transient seeking. A governor prioritized a blessing over lunch, knowing his breath was uncertain. This illustrates that spiritual practice must never be missed. Many seek quick liberation, but this yields nothing. True yoga is a complete human science, not merely physical postures. Success comes from steadfast practice and the grace of one guru, akin to having only one mother and father. Spiritual realization ends criticism; we respect all paths, understanding the oneness of all beings like drops returning to the ocean. Discipline is essential, especially within family life. Practice without competition, according to your capacity. The soul is like a flame; we must protect and nurture this inner light, as it alone continues beyond the body. Authentic teachings, like unchanged bhajans, guide us. Work inwardly, for external attachments are fleeting. Practice sincerely within your own faith, fostering peace and inner awareness.

The Journey Beyond Duality: Life, Self, and the Path to Oneness
3:20 - 4:32 (72 min)
Life is a journey beyond duality toward the oneness of the Self. Two primal energies exist: the divine power leading to liberation and the negative power. The true Self, the Ātmā, is immortal and beyond these dualities, karma, and the cycle of life and death. The individual soul, however, experiences this duality. To transcend it, one must balance the inner energies. The practice of yoga is this union. The body is governed by three qualities: purity, activity, and inertia. These are influenced by lifestyle and nourishment. We perceive through five senses of knowledge and act through five senses of action. Life force, or Prāṇa, flows through channels in the body. Harmonizing the lunar and solar channels through breath leads to balance. True Haṭha Yoga consists of six purification techniques for inner health. Energy centers, or chakras, exist within the body, from the earthly base to the divine crown. Activating the highest center can lead to profound spiritual awakening. The soul's final exit reflects the quality of one's life and consciousness.

Overview of practicing yoga
4:40 - 5:28 (48 min)
Yoga is the science of life, meant for daily practice. The system "Yoga in Daily Life" was developed to provide a consistent method. True yoga is a single path with several aspects. Karma Yoga is selfless service, purifying through action. Haṭha Yoga is not the common postures but the six purification techniques: Netī, Dhautī, Bastī, Naulī, Trāṭaka, and Kapālabhāti. Rāja Yoga is the eightfold path of discipline leading to meditation. Jñāna Yoga is the path of knowledge. Beyond these lies the knowledge of Kuṇḍalinī and the chakras, the hidden spiritual power within. The human body is part of nature and responds best to natural practices. Health is the true wealth, and daily practice is essential. One must make time, ideally in the early morning, to establish this vital habit for a harmonious and healthy life.
"Yoga in Daily Life means... if you have no time for yoga, then also don't eat."

Opening of inner eyes
5:35 - 6:12 (37 min)
The inner light and the practice of trāṭak reveal the soul's journey. The soul enters the body like a seed finding its place, guided by an inner light from the navel. This light is the jīva, the soul itself, present in all creation. Every seed, tree, and creature possesses inner eyes that seek their destined path through concentration. This seeking is trāṭak. The story of a guru saving a devotee at sea illustrates the power of this inner connection. The guru's astral body traveled and returned through the navel center, or nābhi, demonstrating that true sight is inward. All external vision is secondary to this inner light, which connects the individual soul to the universal.
"Every seed again gives eyes to the roots."
"Trāṭak of the nābhi and Gurujī came."

Advice for good health
6:20 - 7:28 (68 min)
Haṭha Yoga is the inner purification of the body through natural wisdom and technique. Astrological predictions are secondary to life's inherent function. Humans support each other, as in older communities where goods and services were shared. Modern systems of employment and commerce continue this interdependence. Nature provides all necessary remedies, such as salt for health and cow urine for healing. Āyurveda is the vast treasure of medicinal plants and elements surrounding us. Haṭha Yoga practices like neti cleanse the nasal passages with precise salt water. Kunjal kriyā is learned from the elephant's action of drawing and expelling water. Sūtra dhauti involves swallowing a cloth for internal cleansing. Śaṅkha Prakṣālana purifies the intestines with warm salt water, mimicking the conch's spiral. All these techniques originate from observing nature, as humans are part of nature. Use what God has provided, but within limits.

Holi Festival
7:35 - 8:09 (34 min)
The divine manifests through specific circumstances and through the eternal senses. We exist in a dark age where spiritual values decline, awaiting a divine manifestation.
A king performed severe austerities to gain power. He asked a divine being for immortality but was refused. He then requested a boon that no normal means could kill him, which was granted. Returning to his kingdom, he declared himself the only god. However, devotion to the true divine persisted. The king had a son, Prahlāda, who from childhood chanted the divine name despite his father's orders. The king's sister, Holika, who was immune to fire, tried to burn the boy but was herself consumed while he remained unharmed. The king repeatedly tried to kill his son, but divine protection saved him each time. Finally, the king threatened Prahlāda before a heated iron pillar. As the boy embraced it, a divine form, part-lion and part-man, emerged and killed the king at twilight in a doorway, thus fulfilling the conditions of the boon.

Recharging the spiritual energy
8:15 - 9:02 (47 min)
You are in the aura of Śiva consciousness, a divine vibration filling your thoughts and body, making you Śivamaya. Many worldly problems vanish here in this experience of the Self, ānanda-svarūpa. Avoid the company of those entangled in temporary, conflicted worldly pursuits; this is kusanga. Their polluted minds will affect you. Associate only with truly spiritual beings; be light so darkness cannot approach. Self-knowledge is essential. Do not mistake this temporary state for permanent attainment; old conflicts may return upon leaving. A wise person does not ask questions from ignorance but knows the answer. The story illustrates seeking a worthy match: an educated princess tests suitors until finding a simple shepherd who reveals profound wisdom. Their union, after a test involving a cat and a mouse, leads to his spiritual awakening as the great poet Kālidāsa. Ujjain is a sacred city where liberation is possible.

Heaven and Hell
9:10 - 10:01 (51 min)
Time is a human construct, yet it governs all life. Humans count seconds and years, but time does not count for us; it moves in cycles with the sun. No being is immortal, not even deities who have their appointed times in each age. A creator may become an ant, and an ant may become a creator, as time brings all transformations. We grow and we go; this cannot be stopped.
A sage in the mountains received the Vedas and wished to study them for eternity. When death's messenger came for him, the sage repeatedly requested more time to learn. The messenger finally showed him that the knowledge he had acquired was merely a handful of sand compared to the vast mountain of wisdom. The sage then understood and departed willingly.
Our allotted time should be used for spiritual practice and good deeds. Pride and anger destroy spiritual attainment, as shown by a yogi who lost his power through cursing a bird and displaying arrogance to a humble woman. The knowledge and abilities we possess must be utilized, or they are lost. The breath is the rope of life; its length is unknown.

We are on the path of Alakh Puriji
10:05 - 10:40 (35 min)
The practice of yoga and light sustains us on the spiritual path. I traveled extensively during a clear period, witnessing the strength of practitioners who remained healthy despite widespread illness. The specific practice of Brahmari Prāṇāyāma has been crucial for health. I taught its techniques, which involve balancing vibration between the brain's hemispheres and directing it to the center of the head. This practice is powerful but must be learned precisely for at least one year before teaching others, performed only five times per session. Our path is one of many, all leading to the same goal, connected through the navel as a source. We must continue our daily sādhanā. Furthermore, we should observe prayers at sunrise and sunset, aligning with the light's cycle as illustrated by the story of a man seeing a temple light at dusk.
"Many, many people who practiced exactly what I told you—this Brahmari Prāṇāyāma—were very healthy and good."
"At least one year you should learn this exactly, and then give it further. Otherwise, you will make others, maybe not good, it will be in the body."

Satsaṅg and disciplined living are foundations for spiritual and physical well-being. An eight-month Anuṣṭhāna was completed, a period of residence with daily satsaṅg and spiritual practice. This occurred at a Sattva āśram, a pure place established for decades where many have come to practice. The holiness originates from ancient spiritual lineage. Satsaṅg is the gathering of truth with spiritual companions, fostering happiness. Historical guidance from masters emphasizes simple, disciplined living. This includes dietary discipline: eat only when truly hungry, avoid tea and coffee, and consume pure foods. Modern habits of constant eating and improper foods lead to illness. True health comes from eating moderately, drinking water, and leaving space in the stomach. Practice silence, maintain personal space in communal living, and focus on spiritual practice. The recent global situation, while difficult, allowed for sustained spiritual focus and family connection at home. Ultimately, cultivate a life free from anger and negativity through disciplined practice and satsaṅg.

The divine name is the means to cross the ocean of worldly existence. Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇa Mahāprabhujī is the incarnation for all beings. By contemplating His name with grace, one cuts down desire, anger, and greed. The world's illusion remains far away through the Guru's grace. His name is the boat for crossing; the Satguru's grace is that boat. One who receives this grace finds their passage. At the time of dissolution, the Guru's light will manifest within the heart. By always holding His enchanting form in mind, one need not fear the net of illusion. The name itself provides absorption in divine feeling and ensures safe crossing.
"For the beings of the world—the jīvas and jinn—His name itself is the boat to cross the ocean of existence."

Yoga, Faith, and Integration: A Personal Journey and Panel Discussion
12:00 - 13:04 (64 min)
Yoga is a faith-based system for wellness and healing, integrating consciousness with the body. A personal testimony describes overcoming a cancer diagnosis by refusing conventional treatment and rewriting one's mental blueprint. The individual believed revised thoughts would communicate with cells and DNA to halt disease progression, attributing survival solely to yoga practiced with faith and discipline. This illustrates yoga's potential beyond physical postures, focusing on divine energy and consciousness.
Panelists discuss integrating traditional Āyush systems like Homeopathy, Āyurveda, and Siddha with yoga and modern medicine. Homeopathy treats the whole person mind-body-intellect economically. Āyurveda and yoga share principles of removing prāṇic blockages through detoxification and lifestyle. Siddha medicine inherently includes yoga and varma therapy. All emphasize a holistic, health-centric approach over a disease-centric model, addressing root causes like stress and suppressed urges. The World Health Organization supports developing evidence-based yoga modules for non-communicable diseases and exploring integrative service delivery. The spiritual core of yoga is to raise human consciousness, with health benefits being natural side effects.
"If you allow God’s energy to run into your system by removing the ignorance that blocks it, God will provide the miracles."

Mantra is with you for your whole life
13:10 - 13:32 (22 min)
Two paths define human life: the worldly path of material progress and the spiritual path of conscious living. The worldly path, like that of medicine, is good but ultimately leads to an end without deeper life or meditation. The spiritual path is everything; it is our daily actions, thoughts, and relationships. We must think of our children and family unity, not separation. A story illustrates this: a couple, from their school days through fifty years of marriage, harbored a silent grievance over who received the soft part of the bread, never communicating their true feelings. This shows how small, unspoken things can define a life. The spiritual solution is a personal mantra, given now, which will stay with you forever. This path requires discipline: no meat, essentially no alcohol. Life is a choice. One who lives spiritually ascends; one who lives otherwise, consuming other creatures, goes back. These are the two things.

We are Humans
13:40 - 14:08 (28 min)
The nature of practice is to inquire into what you are not, to discover the Self.
We perform many actions and yoga postures, naming animals and forms, but you are not that movement or those names. You are not the body practicing. We identify with elements like water, necessary for life, yet you are not that either. We live within a body and a world, like passengers in an aeroplane, but this too is not you. Life appears and disappears, and we question where the prāṇa goes. We speak of God but have not seen God. The ultimate reality is described as light, yet even that description falls away into nothingness. The practice is to see that all these appearances—the body, the world, the elements—are not you. The true state is a oneness beyond all forms and descriptions, where there is no separation. Be with this inquiry.

The spiritual pilgrimage is a rare achievement of the soul, likened to a fruit surviving from blossom to harvest. Ancient pilgrims endured immense hardship with singular focus on the divine. Modern ease can invite disrespect, as seen when indulgence at a holy site provoked a destructive natural response. This place demands purity; most who come are purifying their karma. India is a unique spiritual source, like a diamond mine, where all gods are worshipped as one without conflict. Divine incarnations themselves endured great troubles. Human life is for dispassion, not attachment. When divine light awakens, consciousness expands to perceive the unity in all.

The Guru can change our destiny
16:05 - 16:27 (22 min)
The guru's grace can alter destiny.
Everything depends on our karmas. What is written in your destiny will happen. A story illustrates the guru's power to change this. A king's guru met the Vedāntā, the destiny writer, going to inscribe the fate of the king's newborn twins. She declared one son would live in poverty selling wood from a horse, and the other would hunt, barely catching one animal daily. The guru warned her she would regret this. The guru then left. The king was later killed in an attack, and the twins were raised in poverty by a potter, fulfilling the destined misery. Years later, the guru returned. He instructed the wood-selling brother to sell his horse each day, forcing the Vedāntā to provide a new one each time to fulfill the destiny. He told the hunter to only hunt a golden deer, ignoring all other animals. The Vedāntā was thus forced to provide a golden deer daily to meet the decree of one kill. The brothers grew wealthy. The Vedāntā, overwhelmed, begged the guru for forgiveness and agreed to rewrite their destiny to become kings again, which then occurred.

Seek refuge in the Guru to cross the ocean of worldly existence and attain liberation. You are trapped in the cycle of birth and death, where all possessions and relationships are ultimately left behind. The Guru is the means to cross this ocean, destroying inner enemies like desire and anger. By taking shelter and consciously repeating the divine name, one can be freed from ignorance. The goal is a transcendent state beyond birth, death, and karma, described as indescribable light and eternity. This state is sought through complete surrender, offering all aspects of life—success, defeat, work, and love—into divine hands. The aim is to live in the world yet remain pure, with the single task of reaching the divine.

Respect is important
22:45 - 23:38 (53 min)
The power of language and respect shapes spiritual life. Words carry energy, influencing our inner state and relationships. A story illustrates this: a man feared the yoga pose called Śavāsana, the corpse pose. After this, the name was changed to Ānandāsana, the bliss pose, to remove fear. How we speak is crucial. We do not "take" a mantra; we may "get" it as a sacred gift, which changes our entire attitude. Modern communication often loses depth and respect, using abbreviated or vulgar language absorbed from media. This influences us subconsciously and must be guarded against. Addressing others with respectful titles, like "Devī" for a woman, cultivates different inner feelings. The manner of giving, even food, carries energy; offering with the right hand and respect changes the offering's quality. Respect extends to spiritual objects; keeping a mālā in a clean, valued place allows it to retain its energy. Physical posture also matters; sitting like a king or giving like a beggar changes the inner experience. Pronunciation in mantra is vital, as a single sound can change a word's entire meaning.
"Your entire spiritual path becomes different. Yes, just try to think about this: it is a completely different approach."
"If we are not aware, this will come subconsciously inside. We need to put a firewall in front of us, not to allow such thoughts and such language to become common to us."
